Long Page Capture Not Working
« on: July 06, 2010, 09:58:41 AM »
Simple Web Page Capture...
Unfortunately I can't get the software to capture a long web page.
Just captures the visible portion.
I understand about adjusting the width first.
Should the browser window scroll while it is capturing ? It doesn't do that.
Win XP (SP2) on my laptop
Win7 on my desktop
Same result on both
Thanks

The program is suppose to scroll the page and grab it all. Have you tried other sites?
What is the website your trying to capture and I will test and see if I get the same problem :-)

I tried it on my own web page first, which is where the capture did not work
***LINK REMOVED****
However I have since found that other pages are OK, incl Win7
eg   ***LINK REMOVED****

Does it depend how the page is constructed ?

Its not working for me either. The program uses IE, and IE reports how long the page is. For some reason this isnt happening. IE must be having trouble.
So I am going to use your page as a test and come up with a fix for you today :-)

Ok I found the problem. And it is with the way IE is reading your page. But I found something odd with the page which might explain the problem.

I loaded the page in my router screen capture program show I could see if it worked, it couldn't get the page length either, and it showed 2 frames on the page.

000_(309)_unviewable ***LINK REMOVED****- unviewable - 1
000_(774)_Main ***LINK REMOVED**** - Main - 1

So there is a frame called main and another one called unviewable.
When I try to see if ***LINK REMOVED**** is there it says not found.

So I think if the unviewable frame was removed then then IE should be able to read the length properly :-)

Edit:
I just noticed the 000_(774)_***LINK REMOVED**** - Main - 1
When I put in ***LINK REMOVED**** and have it capture the page, it works just fine!!  :wink:

Thanks, Shane.
Yes, I had over-looked that.   :shy:
Any traffic to my own domain is actually forwarded to the waitrose url where my Home Page is hosted.
So I guess this upset the software !!
I sometimes use my own domain url to test internet utilities, etc., so perhaps I should not do that anymore.

This topic is very specific to my own usage and may discourage other users. Are you able to delete it now ??

Thanks
